The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced on Saturday that it has completed wide-ranging consultations with fellow Palestinian factions and submitted a joint response to mediators on the latest ceasefire framework aimed at halting the Zionist occupationโs war on the Gaza Strip.
In a statement issued by its National Relations Office, Hamas said it held โan extensive series of contactsโ with leaders of national and Islamic factions to coordinate and agree on a single position regarding the proposalโs terms and the mechanisms for implementation.
The talks, described as โserious and practical,โ produced what the movement called a โunified national consensusโ backing the stance of the Palestinian resistance.
โAll factions welcomed this unified reply,โ the statement noted, adding that the response was forwarded to mediators โin a positive spirit and with full unanimityโ after both internal and external consultations were finalized.
Hamas stressed that the joint effort reflects โresponsible Palestinian leadershipโ seeking to preserve the achievements of the Palestinian people and ensure a united front to end the genocide being waged against our people in Gaza.
A Zionist official told the occupation media on Saturday that its delegation will travel to Doha in the coming days โto complete the deal,โ indicating that indirect negotiations are poised to resume in the Qatari capital.
The response follows the unveiling of what US President Donald Trump labeled a โfinal proposalโ for a 60-day ceasefire, an initiative reportedly rooted in the Witkoff Plan and coordinated with Qatar, Egypt, and the US administration.
According to Zionist reports, the deal includes phased military withdrawals, the release of captives and bodies, and a framework for extended negotiations toward a permanent agreement.
While the occupation has not pledged to end its war on Gaza, it has reportedly expressed conditional approval to resume dialogue beyond the initial truce period. Yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has remained silent, even as pressure mounts from the international community over his governmentโs ongoing destruction of Gazaโs infrastructure and refusal to commit to a full ceasefire.
โWe have handed the mediators, Qatar and Egypt, our response to the ceasefire proposal,โ a Hamas official told Reuters. โThe Hamas response is positive and I think it should help and facilitate reaching a deal,โ added another official involved in the talks.
The proposed ceasefire would see a phased release of captives held by the resistance, beginning with 8 live captives on the first day and additional releases on days 50 and 60, alongside the return of 18 bodies. In exchange, the occupation would begin withdrawing its forces from northern and southern Gaza under UN and Red Crescent oversight. Technical teams would work on boundary demarcations, while humanitarian aid would begin flowing immediately.
Longer-term arrangements, set to begin on day one of the truce, include defining terms for further prisoner exchanges, negotiating a permanent ceasefire, determining Gazaโs future security framework, and establishing international guarantees. Mediators would ensure compliance and could extend the truce if substantial progress is made.
Palestinian Resistance factions congratulated the efforts of the Hamas negotiating delegation on their shaping of the agreement and the dignified ceasefire proposal. Across the political spectrum, factions issued statements in support of Hamasโ decision to stop the war, ahead of a likely pan-faction meeting that will take place this week.
Since the beginning of the war, the factions, with all their colors and ideologies, have entrusted Hamas with the mantle to negotiate on their behalf.
PIJ confirmed that Hamas consulted with them and provided detailed feedback on implementation for a responsible reply.
A PFLP leadership source told Al-Hadaf that the Front met with Hamas to seriously discuss the draft. They offered feedback and amendments, which were approved, to stop the war and allow aid without obstacles. The PFLPโs changes concerned the wording of clauses to avoid exploitation by the occupation and a return of the aggression.
The Popular Resistance Committees issued a statement blessing the โserious, responsible, and national positionโ carried by the Palestinian negotiating delegation, highlighting their great flexibility in reaching an agreement. They confirmed that Hamas met with the PRC leadership, too, and called on the mediators to compel the zionist entity to accept the agreement to end the โgreatest holocaust ever inflicted on our Palestinian people.โ
The DFLP welcomed Hamasโ position, stating that their position is โbased on deep awareness of our peopleโs right to stop the killing, starvation, thirst, and death machine.โ They affirmed that they held consultations with Hamas and PIJ in Egypt, and the unified national vision for the day after the war. They, too, warned against zionist attempts to violate the agreement.
Similarly, the PFLP โ GC stated that they support the โwise steps concerning the exchange deal and cessation of zionist aggression that Hamas has matured after consulting with the factions.โ They affirmed that the factions emerged with an outline after several rounds of discussions, which preserves dignity, honors sacrifices, guarantees an end to the US-โisraeliโ war, and secures withdrawal. They cautioned against zionist and American tricks to return to aggression.
The Ahrar Movement also issued congratulations to the Palestinian negotiators, which they stated reflected high national responsibility, sovereign will, and sharp political acumen.
The Mujahideen Movement commended the negotiatorโs position, stating that it represents both seriousness and flexibility. They demanded that the mediators assume their responsibility in guaranteeing the ceasefire.
The Fatah Al-Intifada movement congratulated Hamas on its โgreat national achievementโ against the โzionist occupier and its partner, American imperialism and NATO allies.โ They expressed their confidence in Hamasโ continued leadership of the Palestinian resistance on the path to liberation from the river to the sea.

At least 25 dead, around two dozens missing in central Texas flooding-english.news.cn
The world is waking up to the fact that fighting pharma using the existing set up is impossible. So why cling to it?
Dr Peter #McCullough has set the ball rolling. He says we should not even imagine that the CDC or #FDA will rule against vaccines.
All healthcare staff, he continues, are deeply programmed to believe in vaccines. They are brainwashed into believing that vaccines save lives and that vaccine hesitancy (or refusing to believe in that madness) must be prevented at any cost. Therefore they remain deaf dumb and blind to the vaccine catastrophe.
We have been battling this crazy attitude since ages. You can easily convince plain and simple science. You can never convince entrenched evil whose sole objective is to harm, according to a set agenda. Sorry to shake core beliefs, but that is pharma in short.
Denis #Rancourt admits that you should not expect the system to do better. It never will. You should ask the system to shut down and do nothing.
Sharyl #Attkinson points out that if governments were serious they would analyze the data they have or collect data (all adverse effects reported) to find trends and solutions. Governments have collected data while administering the #vaccines. They only need to follow up. Why is that not being done?
A doctor with a pseudonym points out that so long as institutions like the #WHO, #GAVI, #FDA, #CDC etc exist people cannot expect to be safe.
This is the truth. People have dug their own graves by allowing this system to appropriate all space available. Physical space, mental space, policy space, economy space... now there is no way the elephant can be pushed out from the room.
In the year 2000, after 15 years of negotiating with the system I had arrived at the same conclusion. I had discovered the following;
- People I was dealing with knew that what I was saying was right
- They knew that what they were doing was wrong
- They had no intent to change
You cannot deal with this. You can beat your head against a galvanized steel fortress and break it down, but you cannot make #pharma admit to the truth.
We had started out hoping against hope that some day we would achieve the impossible. Today we know why the word impossible is called impossible.
However something has indeed happened. The entire system has been exposed.More people than earlier have realized that they have trusted the very force that has stabbed them in their back.
If the stupendous rise in disease has followed the stupendous rise in this system of medicine, there can be only one conclusion; the system has caused the stupendous rise. It took a hundred years for the people (not all), to come to this conclusion.
Pharma has not come to an end. It has however planned the end game. An entity called The Liver Doc (whatever that means) has slammed a chess grandmaster for "daring to call his family of qualified holistic healers as doctors". Such arrogance! The pretence has fallen. Pharma has displayed its brutal power. Now it intends to use it.
Ex #Pfizer CEO Dr Mike #Yeadon warns the system is gearing up for something big. "We are in the middle of the biggest crime in history.It is global and it has the intent of control, removing everybody's freedom. It has been long planned."
He has a chilling message for everyone, "Digital ID and vaccines are two sides of the same diabolical coin whose strikers intend to link #vaccine compliance with social and economic viability.โ
According to Sasha #Latypova, interviewed by Dr Trozzi, pharma is rooted in eugenics ideology and backed by sweeping legal immunity and financial incentives. She advocates for widespread noncompliance, rigorous scrutiny, and a refusal to participate in coercive systems.
Pharma is not just pharma. Pharma = the chemical cartel + the big food & big agri cartel + the banking and finance cartel + the IT cartel + the media and entertainment cartel + the funding of movements cartel + the ruling cartel.
Let us not harbor the illusion that it is only about #medicine. Catherine Austin Fitts has long blown the whistle that all the tentacles cited above belong to the same octopus. They work in tandem.
The last #WEF meeting had something strange to offer. The attending figures were seen making faces and whispering in each other's ears. Not a good sign.
Now it is time to ask the system to shut down and do nothing.

Qatar could mediate, but it couldn't make decisions for Hamas. Its influence was real only when it served as the organization's main ATM, funding its activities and civilian institutions, paying salaries to officers and fighters, and helping to rebuild Gaza after every Israeli military operation. And all that was done with the permission of the Israeli government.
Similarly, Egypt could put pressure on Hamas only as long as it controlled the economic pipeline that fed Gaza and Hamas โ the Rafah border crossing. But this lever disappeared after the Israel Defense Forces took control of both the crossing and the Philadelphi corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border.
As a result, in an unprecedented development, the
Americans are now directly negotiating with Hamas, but nobody is complaining about them violating the principle of not negotiating with a terror group. Moreover, Trump can no longer threaten to open the gates of hell on Gaza if Hamas doesn't accept the proposed deal. Hell has already been achieved.

These quotes are not representative of the whole article, which is long, and covers many different themes, but jumped out at me as being observations I've not seen articulated a lot.

Filiu [one of the only historians studying the Gaza Strip] accuses Israel of turning a blind eye for years to what has been going on in Gaza: "For 20 years now, Israel has been unable to nurture networks of collaborators inside Gaza. [The Israelis] tried every tool in the book, and they failed. Because they don't know Gaza's society. And because they operate either from a tank or from a drone, which is not the most efficient way to operate."
To bolster his views, Filiu cites a surprising example: the Israeli television series "Fauda." "The first two seasons, which were set in the West Bank, were quite impressive," he says. The third season, which takes place in Gaza, however, was out of touch with reality. The people who created it, he adds, "don't know what they're talking about. They're speaking about Mosul, they're speaking about the Taliban, they're not talking about Gaza. They don't know Gaza."
One of the tragic consequences of this blindness, Filiu observes, is the mortal blow being dealt to everyone in the Strip who opposes Hamas. "There were thriving universities, intellectual circles and artists. There were so many rap groups in Gaza, and you can imagine that their members weren't exactly sympathetic to Hamas.
"There was a civil society that didn't want to be part of Hamas' Islamist scheme," he continues, "but all that has been destroyed now by the Israeli invasion.

The English translation of his book won't come out before next year, unfortunately. I hope there's also interest from a German (countercurrent) publisher.
I just looked, there's no announcement in German yet. And it seems only one book from filiu was translated in german.
I think I will read the English version, my french is not sufficient enough.
Another thing occurs to me, a propos of this piece:
Filiu managed to get official permission for entry into the Gaza Strip from Israel, without being part of a humanitarian mission. Which proves that it is not the case that โinternational journalists are not getting in because no-one is getting in except humanitarians". Whatever security hoopla they made a history professor jump through they could make a CNN correspondent jump through. Israel is choosing to ban international journalists from Gaza, and journalists specifically.
EDIT: In another interview (Le Monde) he clarifies: "I was integrated into the local team of Doctors Without Borders, which is doing extraordinary work in Gaza and which I assisted thanks to my intimate knowledge of the enclave". It's unclear whether that was just for logistics or whether that means he was officially allowed in โขasโข "humanitarian assistance".

The defense establishment, and following its lead, most Israelis, expect one thing from the Palestinian: surrender. Voluntarily and quietly. It's expected that the Palestinian won't defend himself, won't resist, won't fight the occupation imposed by Israel. If she dares defend herself, she will immediately become a target. If he appeals to the United Nations, he will be accused of "political terrorism." This system is designed to see the Palestinian as the ultimate and immediate suspect, even when she's the victim.

According to this system, a Palestinian who picks up a stone is a terrorist, but a settler who burns down a village is "frustrated.โโฆ
This isn't security or self-defense. It's apartheid, it's ethnic supremacy, and it won't last forever.
...
Israel claims that Palestinian resistance of any kind is violent and illegitimate, but the question is: What does legitimate resistance look like in a situation of ongoing occupation? Is the Israeli justification of self-defense an exclusive right, or does this right also belong to the Palestinians?
...
we've never heard a Western leader talk about the right of the Palestinian people to self-defense. In the eyes of the world, the Palestinian should simply die in silence.

I bought a Lenovo laptop, one from the the bargain bin, 11th gen Intel and 8gb soldered RAM
Even if I reinstalled Windows to make sure all the bloatware was removed, it was almost unusable. At boot I was left with only 800mb free memory, and "Lenovo vantage" kept reappearing automatically like malware. (It's a useless electron app that wastes half a gig of ram to show you on screen when you press caps lock, check driver updates and try to upsell you on extended warranty)
At idle the machine was as loud as a jet, with crystal disk mark always complaining "the nvme drive is over 65ยฐC!!" (I'm guessing from the constant swapping)
Battery life was a disaster, 2 hours at idle with no foreground apps open
I thought that it was the CPU too slow for my use and the RAM not enough, so I was planning to spend some hundreds of euro to buy a new laptop with at least 16gb of RAM.
Then I installed cachyos and because I'm masochist I chose hyprland at the "easy" install screen that asks you which of the 19 available DE you prefer.
After a week of suffering trying to understand all the text configuration files for everything (it was a shock, everything needs the terminal) I'm now getting used to it and... It's like I got a brand new laptop??!?
Memory: clean boot now obviously is reversed situation. I don't have only 800mb of free RAM, the whole system uses only 800mb
Temperatures: by default cachyos is set to show the CPU temperature on waybar, and it's always around 40-45ยฐ C. The fan is way quieter. At idle they can even stop, before they were like a hair dryer even after a clean boot
Battery life: astounding. I can't believe that I can use it for a whole afternoon. Accidentally fell asleep and when I came back after two hours it lost only 10% (on idle, screen turn off automatically)

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced Saturday the execution of a top-tier operation against Zionist occupation forces in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
According to details released by the Brigades, the operation took place on Friday morning near the Directorate of Education in the al-Mahatta area, in central Khan Younis. Resistance fighters stormed a gathering of Zionist soldiers and their military vehicles, the statement added.
As part of the operation, al-Qassam fighters targeted two Merkava tanks using two Shawaz explosive devices, resulting in its crew members being either killed or injured.
In addition to the tanks, the Resistance fighters also struck an armored personnel carrier with a Yassin 105 shell.
When Zionist rescue forces arrived at the scene, they were attacked with light and medium machine gun fire, the Brigades pointed out.
During the operation, al-Qassam fighters observed the landing of helicopters conducting an evacuation that lasted several hours.
The Brigades also reported a second operation on Friday, in which its fighters targeted another Zionist armored personnel carrier using a Yassin 105 shell on al-Biโah Street in central Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement, released footage on Friday documenting a complex and top-tier operation its Resistance fighters conducted on Wednesday in the eastern al-Shujaโiyya neighborhood of Gaza City.
The al-Quds Brigades operation targeted Zionist military vehicles and soldiers, as well as homes where occupation forces had taken cover, engaging in direct confrontations at close range.
The commander of the operation reported that the Zionist soldiers showed no initiative or response, resorting only to screaming and fleeing without returning significant fire toward the Resistance fighters.
He added that the fighters encountered charred bodies of officers and soldiers, confirming that 40 Zionist soldiers were either killed or wounded, and stated that the occupation continues to lie and conceal its losses as it always does.
Zionist air defenses scrambled to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen over occupied Palestine early Sunday.
At 2:45 am (local time), the Zionist military command warned that a missile was launched from Yemen, later announcing that its air defenses successfully intercepted it. Sirens sounded in settlements in the southern occupied West Bank as well as some settlements near the Dead Sea.
The strike comes as Yemen reiterates its military support for Gaza, vowing continued operations until the aggression ends.
On Friday, the Yemeni governorates of Saadah, Raymah, and Marib witnessed massive rallies in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in solidarity with the Gaza Strip under the slogan: โSteadfast with Gaza, prepared and mobilized in the face of aggression.โ
Participants raised slogans affirming Yemenโs unwavering support for Palestine, in light of the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, emphasized the continuation of the Yemeni ban on Zionist shipping, affirming its success and praising Yemenโs ability to continue the battle.
